L'ennui

Sophie:
Abstinence is turning you sour; give it up.

Martin:
I have.

Sophie:
Really? Do I know her?

Martin:
No, I met her in odd circumstances a few weeks ago.

Sophie:
Really? You must be pleased.

Martin:
You're quite wrong, I don't like her at all. She's totally uninteresting. I'm trying to get rid of her.

Sophie:
Why? Is she ugly?

Martin:
Not particularly.

Sophie:
Is she stupid then?

Martin:
No. Not at all. She never says anything stupid. It's complicated. She bores me. I have no contact with her. Or rather only physical contact.

Sophie:
Why complain? That's not so bad.

Martin:
You can't imagine how basic she is, she has no conversation. When she speaks, she sounds silent. Her only means of expression is sexual.
